Lost a foal overnight
Sadly, Monty Python’s colt by Sea The Stars was stillborn after a difficult foaling. Mum is fortunately ok. She’s currently consigned to our auction but may well be scratched and sent back to STS for another try.
Still waiting on one overdue made then nothing expected until early March. Currently have 18 foals on the ground, split evenly between colts and fillies and another 39 to go.
Sorry about your foal.
Seems like there are a lot of stillborns this year! Sorry about the baby.
Ouch. I’m sorry for your loss.
As posted earlier, we sadly lost a mare during foaling today. However, baby is doing well despite a rather traumatic start to life.

Frankel x Rosebud (G)
10h dark bay colt. 11th and final foal for his unraced dam. He has big hooves to fill, being a half-brother to ICh What’s Your Point, already gold ranked in the stud barn himself with a stud qualified son. His other half-siblings all winners aside from the unraced 2yo filly. Several are stakes level performers.
I couldn’t think of anything rose related that didn’t sound feminine so he is named after the UK’s main decryption establishment during WW2 were agents cracked the German enigma code, a major contribution in helping the Allied Forces win the war. The site now operates as a museum.
Had a rethink on the latest colt’s name. He has been renamed after a novel/memoir set in the Gloucestershire countryside post WW1 - Cider With Rosie.
First of the March babies
